    Dumb

    the commissioning % for VMI and The Citadel is more like 35-45 depending on the year; like many hoss don't understand that the SMCs do not exist just to produce officers for the military, they produce well trained graduates who are prepared to be successful in any walk of life. You will find...

    The Navy says goodbye to "Blueberries"

    although an Army guy I will volunteer that I liked the "retro" khaki uniform that Mullen and a small number of others were wearing, whats wrong with bringing back the khaki uniform for officers and Chiefs, what about a version of the dark blue duty uniform the Coast Guard wears.

    Update: Female Marines at USMC Infantry Officer Course

    but wait a minute Sledge, Mabus insists that the physical standards will not be changed. 0 for 30 so far on females in the officer infantry course, when will they stop beating a dead horse? Or more to the point when will the **EDITED** panderer in chief ORDER them to lower standards?

    Commissioning numbers for 2016

    Not aware that ROTC ever mandated commissioning, wasn't the case when I went through The Citadel in the late 70s. Keep in mind that the drawdown of the military and subsequent loss of commissioning slots has greatly impacted the numbers, also per previous cmments not everyone goes to El Cid or...

    Way to go Citadel

    clueless has it right, NAS (or whatever he calls himself this week) is a poor example of his school, you would think his fellow grads would have enough integrity to call him out, or is this the fox guarding the henhouse?

    but of course she DOES NOT qualify for any civilian programs at The Citadel, not a vet and doesn't have an associates degree. Thanks for the unending disinformation.

    Commissioning numbers for 2016

    Just reporting the raw numbers in case anyone is curious, if that's OK.

The comradarie, strong alumni network along with the fact that they teach skills you...

    Way to go Citadel

    I think this sets a bad precedent however keep in mind that Norwich is a civilian university with a corps of cadets so there is no issue of having uniform appearance for all, I am sure they have civilian muslim students wearing hijabs; probably also Sikhs with turbans and beards. And once...

    Sikh Follows His Beliefs....But Had To Fight For It

    open pandoras box and it never closes, once you make an exception for one person you will have everybody screaming for one.

    Controversy of Cadet Group Photo -- Reactions from West Pointers?

    no one has mentioned the intial claim which was that the photo indicated support for black lives matter, if so this is clearly inappropriate. Absent any explanation from those involved guess we are left to make our own interpretation

    Way to go Citadel

    the essential point to remember here is that the hijab is an OPTIONAL garment it is not a REQUIREMENT of islam. And BTW, conveniently hasn't been reported in the media but this students father is head of CAIR, she is a pawn for a group advancing an agenda just as Shannon Faulkner was for the...
